Application filed October 17, 1914. Serial No. 867,137.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LEON REES, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stufl'ed Dolls, Puppets, Toy Figures, and the like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to con- ,7 struct stuffed dolls, puppets, toy figures and the like in such a manner that the head can be turned or placed in various positions and remain in the placed position.

My invention will be clearly understood from the following description aided by the annexed drawing which shows a front view partly in section of my invention applied to a doll. V

In carrying out my invention I construct the head 1 and short neckseparate from the body 2 and with a conical or other shaped tube 3 or equivalent projecting upward in the neck or lower part "of the head 1 to approximately the center of said head. The end of theneck or lower part of the head 1 is rounded oil with the open mouth of the tube 3 or equivalent in the center.

The body portion 2 of the doll is formed with a cup or semi-spherical recess 4 in the neck portion or between the shoulder and the edge of the cup may form the neck of The head 1 is connected to the body 2 of the doll by a piece of elastic cord 6, coiled spring or equivalent, one end? of which is connected to the top of the tube 3 in the head 1 or to a cross piece in the head 1 or in any other manner so that the elastic cord.

passes through the tube 3 or equivalent the other end 8 of the elastic cord being con nected to about the middle of the cup 4: in the body.

The elastic thread is sufliciently taut to hold the head 1 tight to the body 2.
